HEY everyone!

Just wanted to update everyone that is on here... We are coming out with another update video that I will share here shortly. BUT wanted to let everyone know that there are going to be 3 new perks added to the Crowdfund for the last 15 or so days!

Those would be:

Single FF coupon $49,2 pack FF coupon $993 pack FF coupon $149

These work essentially as like a discount code that can be used at ANY FF event for anything FLITE FEST related(Camping, entry, Pilot pass, Etc) This allows for people who were PLANNING on going to the event already, to contribute to the campaign! ;)

Anyways, Ill shoot the vid over soon, but wanted to let you guys know in advance! :)

I just joined a local RC Airplane club. With the weather currently so nasty here in Washington, they've been doing their meet-ups at a very small gym. Most of they guys there fly expensive 2S 3D planes, some fly 1S micros, and there are a few quadcopters. I would really like to join them. I have no interest in the 3D planes, but I would like to fly a little 1S micro. I have been looking at RTF and BNF micros that range between $70-$150, but I thought I'd ask if there were any foam board plans that would fall into this category. I really enjoyed building the FT Cub. Any suggestions?

I slightly modified the original plans. Instead of glueing the motors to the foam mounts, I sacrificed an old whoop frame ducts to hold the motors. This meant that I needed to add a additional foam layer for the “raft” to get the needed height. I also mounted the FC (I used an old Dromida Ominus) under the main deck.

Because I was using the ducts, I needed to start with smaller holes. I roughed them out and sanded them to fit and be smooth. (Left rough, right finished)

Duct fit

Next I glued on the two rough layers of “raft”. I bevel cut the bottom one as an attempt to reduce the drag.

I sanded the outside edges to match and be smooth. I sanded the inside to be smooth too. I found that removing the bottom paper let me get a good, smooth, consistent edge for the bottom. Once I was happy, I wiped a thin layer of hot glue to improve durability. Just like for aircraft hinges, a little bit goes a long way. Remember, you want this hovercraft as light as possible.

HEY everyone!! CROWD FUND IS LIVE! Here is the Video and Link for those who have not seen it yet! Lets make this dream a reality eh!? ;)Thanks to everyone for all the support... you all mean the world to us!!

Hey, did you know that there is a FliteTest Discord server?
Q: No, what is it?
A: It's a chat server where we talk about RC planes, flitetest content, personal builds, and flitefest.
Q: Isn't that just the forum?
A: The forum does this too, but we feel like Discord is a more effective way to interact with the wonderful Flitetest community. It also has features like voice chats.
Q: Wait, you guys have voice calls? Like Skype?
A: Yeah, and we can screen share too.
Q: I've heard Discord is kind of volatile though, is the server still wholesome and hobby-oriented?
A: Yes. We have a moderation staff and rules to make sure the server maintains the same wholesome mood as the forum.
Q: Do I need to install Discord to use the server?
A: While installing Discord on your computer gives you the best experience, the mobile apps or the website interface also work nicely.
Q: How do I join?
A: Follow this link: https://discord.gg/aTfNwa5
See you there!

I was just wondering how many different airframes you've managed to get and use the same power pod on?

I'm wanting to get into the sport here soon and after some reading I'm fairly sold on the swappable kit for my initial foray into fixed wing (I quad a bit)

I love the idea that i could easily go from one build to another using not just the same electronics but the same pod.

thanks
mark

I like the looks of the drone on the wall I dont really know the name of the mix.

I'm building FT Sea Duck. I'm following instructions on youtube. How do I get the motors to spin.
I have following instructions from FT Graupner MZ-12 tutorial but it does not work yet.
Any help would be appreciated.
